A primer for the NBA Final Four

The NBA’s greatest father-son combination in history — Dell and Steph Curry — has Virginia roots.

That’s according to website Sportschew.com.

With Father’s Day approaching, two other father-son combos with strong Richmond roots also warrant attention.

That would be Terry and Ed Davis and Gerald Henderson and Gerald Henderson Jr.

More on that later. First, the Sportschew survey:

Dell and current Golden State Warrior Steph Curry are virtually everyone’s first choice as the best two-generation NBA duo.

Curry background:

Dell Curry was born in Harrisonburg, grew up in Grottoes and starred at Fort Defiance High where he set (since surpassed) a state scoring record.

From there, Curry enjoyed a brilliant career at Virginia Tech and was a mainstay in the NBA from 1986 to 2002, scoring 12,670 points.

Current Golden State Warrior Steph Curry, as most know, ranks with elite scorers in NBA history.

Now for the Richmond connections:

While the Davises and Hendersons didn’t make Sportschew’s Top 10, they surely deserve an honorable mention and still, with more time to shine the résumé, could eventually rise up the chart.

Background check:

Terry Davis hails from Halifax High and originally signed with the University of Georgia before transferring to Virginia Union University and becoming an All-American for Coach Dave Robbins from 1986 to 1989.

Terry’s son Ed Davis played at Hanover High and Benedictine and played two seasons at the University of North Carolina, helping the Tarheels to an NCAA title.

From Richmond’s Southside, Gerald Henderson Sr. was a standout at Huguenot High and then at VCU under coaches Chuck Noe and Dana Kirk.

His son, Gerald Henderson Jr., grew up in the Philadelphia area and played three seasons at Duke.
